Today, EA tossed us some pretty hip screenshots for the upcoming Wii title,SimCityCreator. This latest incarnation of theSimCityfranchise will seem very familiar to those who have been enjoying the games over the years. The idea of the game is to build, manage, and maintain a city. The big twist is that the locales and buildings are somewhat customizable this time around. Players will be able to choose different themes around which to build their cities....
The first details forNinja Gaiden 3have bubbled to the surface by way ofOfficial PlayStation Magazine, and they ought to please fans immensely. Between promises of blood and a refusal to compromise on difficulty, the biggest story is that of eight-player online multiplayer. Here are the deets, in handy list format: More of the game will be shown off at E3 and I can’t wait. Anybody else excited to see more?...
What’s with all the strange names this week, Nintendo?Fishie Fishie? Poo Yoos?Nonsense words? And then there’s the more perverted sounding ones.Manhole? Drill Till You Drop? They’re saying that the games released this week will appeal to “young’ins and old-schoolers alike.” For the “old-schoolers,” I think they’re referring to the continued release of Game & Watch titles for your DSi. This week they’re following last week’s release of three with three more....
Pop Cap continues to invade every platform it possibly can withPlants vs. Zombies, this time with the game hitting DSiWare this week. Not a huge deal, though — it’s still a great game, and probably the best of the bunch this week on the Nintendo downloadable title tip. DSiWare WiiWare Have you had enough ofPlants vs. Zombiesat this point? Are you just ready for a sequel like I am? Or will you be picking up the game again for your Nintendo portable?...
Again, here’s someone claiming to have made motion sensing techology first. This time it’s Hillcrest, a company who has licensed their motion-detecting technology to other electronic companies in the past. Their patented tech let users select items on a screen by moving a handheld device. Sounds like a Wii Remote, doesn’t it? Nintendo does not think so, of course. “Nintendo intends to vigorously defend this action,” it said in a statement....
Trust NIS to get the job done. With the PSPgo officially launching tomorrow, NIShas revealedthat its library of PSN games will be appearing on the PlayStation Network for your downloading pleasure.

Following a ton of screenshots forClash of the Titans, we’re now given a fresh look at the game adaptation of the recent movie in high-tech moving picture form. This is going to sound weird for anyone who didn’t grow up with a Super Nintendo or Genesis, but I can’t seem to shake the notion thatClash of the Titansresembles film-based videogames from the 16-bit generation. Apparently the movie wasn’t zany enough on its own, so it was decided that adding a crazy roster of beasts for the game would be ideal....
Are you ready to get ICED OUT?Blingvadersnow offers the hippest new gear for wannabe pimps in the form of the “Iced out Space Invaders neck chain”. Yours for just twenty dollars in faux silver or gold, you can show off your nerd cred and still look totally bangin, especially if you wear your puffy jacket and sunglasses (the latter is especially effective if you wear them at night). Imagine it — you’re a badass!...
It’s been almost a month since TGS, and I’m still not over my break up with Japan. It’s games likeDo-Konjou Shougakussei Bon Bitathat make me miss the place. The upcoming DS action/comedy release stars a little naked kid with a green afro who turns disturbingly “realistic” before vomiting water and farting fireballs. With shows likeAdventure Timeand games likeSuper Meat Boy, the West has really been catching up to Japan when it comes to cartoon surrealism, but it’s games like this that prove that Japan is still the weirdest one there is....
PAX is getting ever so closer and we’re just now finally starting to see whatall the big guns haveup their sleeves for the show. Here’s what Sega has planned for all of you to get your disgusting little hands on: The gorgeous Dale NorthplayedValkyria Chroniclesat E3and pretty much loved the game: I don’t doubt that Sony is happy that this exclusive is coming down the line for them, as they’ve needed something like this, that would appeal to the role-playing gamer, for some time now....
I’ve got no idea what we’ll be talking about, but it’ll probably have something to do with videogames and human anatomy. You know the drill by now: ask us questions, and the most interesting query will be rewarded with a Dtoid swag bag.
To be honest, I have almost no idea what we’re gonna be talking about on tonight’s episode of Podtoid. Some brief GDC Austin musings will be had, but I’m effectively clueless beyond that point. The Martyrdom perk inModern Warfare 2? I have no idea. Unless I’m mistaken, this has been a tremendously boring week for game news. What doyouwant us to talk about? Your suggestion can be phrased either as a statement or in the form of a typical listener question....
This week’sPodtoidis aboutDemon’s Souls, a really long games of the week segment, and Double Down Browntown. I’d make that a link to Phallus Knife Fight’s picture, but…you’re better off finding that thing on yourown. Or not at all. The best question this week came from the guy who emailed us (who I won’t name because he didn’t include an online handle). Just send us another email with your mailing address, guy, and we’ll attempt to get some Dtoid stuff sent your way....
